Plotting the Analemma from Shadow Stick Observations.
Glenn, William H.
Journal of Geography, v81 n3 p98-100 May-Jun 1982
Secondary students can study time and the motions of the sun by plotting an analemma, a graphic representation of the declination of the sun and the equation of time for every day of the year. They can collect data by measuring a dowel stick's shadow in the noon sun. (KC)
